NYS PLAYOFFS - CHAMPIONSHIPS
UPDATE - 10U, 11U CAPTURE NYS CHAMPIONSHIPS!

 Congratulations to our 10U and 11U teams led by Coach Reid and Coach Ahlstrom on their hard fought wins.   Both teams demonstrated focus and an ability to overcome adversity to secure their first of we are sure many Championships.   Coach Powell's 12U and Coach Krewson's 13U team fell short in their first foray into unweighted football.  Each team managed the transition well and over performed, finishing runner up in the very competitive D1.

11U CHAMPIONS!
